Will Trump Win? What the Data Shows
To claim victory, a candidate must secure at least 270 electoral votes. With Trump currently holding 246 electoral votes to Harris’s 182 votes, he has a clear edge over his opponent. Moreover, the Republican is leading in nearly all the key swing states, including Pennsylvania – the largest swing states in terms of electoral votes.
Cryptocurrency regulation has been a central topic throughout the election campaign. Trump has taken a pro-crypto stance and has promised to bring in policies aimed at liberating the crypto sector from stringent regulators.
Interestingly, Polymarket bettors favouring Trump have dominated throughout this election season. Even though there were rumours that Polymarket whales might have artificially inflated the winning probability of the right-wing candidate, they did little to impact the confidence of Trump supporters.
